Ethernet The Ambitions of a Network Technology 1970 - I just want to share printers 1980 - I just want to connect PC s 1990 - I want speed 2000 - I want to be everywhere But not like that old slow, expensive, boring TDM And to be predictable, reliable like. like a Carrier Ethernet! 3 3
Carrier Ethernet The Ambitions of a Network Technology 2013 - I want it To be really smart, on-demand To reach any application from anywhere Real easy with zero-touch automation Like picking up the phone or turning on the tap Yes that s the future of Ethernet 4 4
The Future of Ethernet I want Carrier Ethernet to be just like TDM! From Control/Management Planes perspective. 5
